Genesis 41:25 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:25

And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, the dream of Pharaoh [is] one,
&c.] Though there were two distinct dreams expressed under different images and representations, yet the meaning, sense, and signification of them were the same; one interpretation would do for both: God hath showed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do;
that is, by the above dreams, when they should be interpreted to him; for as yet he understood them not, and therefore there could be nothing showed him, but when interpreted it would be clear and plain to him what events were quickly to be accomplished: God only knows things future, and those to whom he is pleased to reveal them, and which he did in different ways, by dreams, visions, articulate voices

Genesis 41:25 In-Context

24 The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven full ones. I told this to the magicians, but no one can tell me what it means."

25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh's dreams mean the same thing. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.

26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. The dreams mean the same thing.

27 The seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven worthless, scorched heads of grain are seven years of famine.
